To shed weakness [Open]

[Runeska]

And just like that it was over. The gate to shadow fire had closed with the defeat of Dravier. He'd been the only one to survive it and though the deaths of the other ninja didn't bother him, it brought a thought to his mind. Mist, why was he here again? He only wished to get stronger. But with so many that were below his strengths, how was that even possible? It wasn't. He'd be better off alone, searching for something in his own right.


It's with that thought in mind that everything came toward this one thought. He'd have to leave mist. It was the only logical response. This place held such a strong hold on his other half, Tai. Tai had lost his parents here, began his life alone here. It created such a weakness within Tai, that it was begining to bring him down too. The only regrets he had at this moment was offering his sword to the mizukage in service. The leader of a nation who specialized in the weak, it was not even worth his name being under the banner.


Leaning against a nearby tree, Neoku pulled out a small sheet of paper and began to write a note to himself

'

The fang of wind cuts and devides all. Master the fang and power will be mine.


1. Retrieve Rakoudoshido from the mizukage

2. Familiarize myself with the blade of my people

3. Achieve mastery'

These were just a few notes to himself so that in the time to come, he would not forget to retrieve this item that was his by birthright. But also within the note, he'd scribbled in the information about the techniques as his uncle had told him about. Such power would be an incentive of his own


After that, he quickly folded the note and placed it into his shirt. With his back against the tree still, he reached toward his mist hand band and yanked it off. Holding it in his hand, he stared deeply into the wavering pattern. Suddenly, the images began to roam through his mind. They were of the parents of Tai. Their nuturing love and affection, their morals... it all meant nothing but a weakness, one tied to this land. Pulling a kunai from his pouch, He slashed his mist headband then placed it back on his forehead, though the slashed mist sign now pointed to the back.


That was it, it was official now. Such as the band was behind his head now, slashed and dissmembered, so would his connection to mist. It, was behind him. But he had something more on him at this moment. Reaching into his pocket, he found 9500 gold in his pocket which hadn't been there before. Was it a reward for defeating that demon? It didn't matter, it was his now.



[OOC:Can someone add in the gold from shinta's event? www.narutoforumrp.proboards75.com/index.cgi?board=landofwater&action=display&thread=22691&page=4?

Also, someone go ahead and change my mist head band to a missing nin please?]

[DeeDub]

Moving through the trees, Kotaro slowed his movement as he saw a young man leaning against a tree. It seems he had seen battle slightly fatigued and his mist headband on backwards its plate on hanging on the back of his head. Kotaro had to investigate as this person had seen some bloodshed maybe an attack on the country we wondered as he landed from the trees.

He jogged the remainder pf the distance his equipment clinked in his pockets as did his sword. Kotaro kept his head on a swivel as he neared the mist nin. "What's going on here...?" He said coming to a stop and getting into a ready stance. He was ready for whatever had caused the distress as he grasped his hilt of his sword.

[Runeska]

"What's going on?"


As soon as Neoku heard those words, his guard was up. He'd already been found, only seconds after deciding mist was below him? That couldn't be, not yet. His then frame quickly flicked sideways, for a brief moment, the slash on his mist band visible to the eye of anyone who'd be in the area.


The crimson colored slits on his head that served as eyes already spoke the message, should there eyes meet. Those eyes were full of such intense coldness that they'd rob fire the gift of it warmth. He no longer wanted anything to do with mist. This became even more evident as his face began to crease menacingly.


"Who are you? What do you want, worm?" His voice was deep and booming like a baritone, the dark melody of it filling the immediate area. It was like venom, caustic to the ears for it held some sort of substenance to it that someone his age shouldn't have. It was death's sweet promise, and he'd carry it out so long as it would aid him in his quest for power.


But the stance of the opproaching man would only portray him as a target. Instantly, Neoku's hand reached toward three senbon and fired them at the man as he took his senbon stance for a brief second. The intended course of direction was aimed toward the head, mid chest, and groin, in a single straightline. The sweet sonata of death would haunt his adversary soon enough.

[DeeDub]

As he approached, jogging his hand on his sword as these vile words spewed from the fatigued mist nin. As he suddenly retrieved senbon from his pouch. Kotaro narrowed his eyes as he flung the senbon in his direction.

"Best way to say hello..." Kotaro thought as he would leave an after-image(1/11) moving out of the way of the senbon. He would suddenly appear beside the mist nin. A kunai drawn and pressed against his throat. From his position, KOtaro could clearly see the deep gash in his headband symbolizing his immediate betrayal of his village.

"I see..."

With a swift movement Kotaro pulled the blade away from his throat and raked its sharp edge horizontal across his right bicep arm. He would quickly turn around taking a short hop behind his opponent. coming to a stop the kunai still in hand.

[Runeska]

"Uhg!" the gasped escaped his mouth rather quickly. His hasty move had cost him as he wasn't quite ready for the speed of the attack set against him. His right arm had been cut in a vital area for his sword play. Thus, many of his sword techniques would be rendered ill advised. He'd been caught good but had not even started yet.


As his opponent hopped away, Neoku's body would dissapear, leaving an after image in its place. A seond later, Neoku appeared behin his opponent as had happened to him a second ago, only he'd be five meters away. The distance was cleared in just a second as his wakizashi came to his left, hand held out by his side. In the second that it took to clear that distance, he'd channeled chakra into his sword and released it in cone shaped blast at his opponent's back. Being that he was using a wakizashi off handed, the slash wouldn't likely kill, but the force from the yaibatsu would be enough to knock him from his feet.



As he expected his opponent to go flying, Neoku took the brief second to inspect his arm a little better. The slash mark was right along the bicep, visibly bleeding slowly through the trickles runing down the rest of his arm. The red liquid spilt to the floor some. Just as he thought, though his attack had been used with the left arm and a smaller blade, the effort had still drained his injured arm. He probably should have wrapped it, but there was no time right now. To do so would jeopardize his situation even more.

The kunai ripped across his opponent's arm easily letting blood. As he readied for another attack. The missing stood there for a long moment as he suddenly appeared his blade drawn his swing released a burst of chakra. Kotaro crossed his arms covering his body.

Kotaro was knocked from his feet as he flew back the missing looked at the wound. Uncrossing his arms in mid-air he reached into his jacket and he whipped out three shuriken. The last second in the air he flipped the three shuriken at the unsuspecting missing nin.

They were aimed one for his thigh and two for his abdomen. He hit the ground sliding on his shoulder he jumped back up to his feet but crouched. His idle time since the river mission had shown their weight on Kotaro's reactions.

3x shuriken used...

[Runeska]

Though the arm was a hinderance, it took none of his attention from the fight at hand. His head had snapped back forward, just in time to see the senbon aiming toward him. Without a second to spare, he spun to the side once. As he completely his spin, the first of the kunai flew past his lower body, doing nothing to him. The other two however had hit, though not there intended target. Unknown to his opponenent, he still wore his mesh shirt that he'd brought back in the river country before facing off on that bridge. The two shruriken harmless panged into the shirt, making a slight clicking sound as they deflected and fell to the floor.



Without a moment to spare, he took a slight breath, molding chakra to prepare an attack. A second a later, he blew at his opponent, making a arrow of wind fly toward his direction. He might see the initial breadth and pursed lips, but the arrow itself carried no debris and was thus invisible. Aimed at the joint of his left leg, it was aimed to slow him down after it pierced is skin. No such devasting moves could be used just yet. He'd not rested in a good while, so regardless of how he felt at the moment, he had to fight carefully. There was no telling when a sudden moment of fatigue might catch him. In the meanwhile, he senses stayed open as his sword was brought closer to him in defense.

[DeeDub]

The shuriken were ineffective as they merely bounced off the missing nin. Kotaro stood starting a set of handseals. A force ripped across his left knee. He winced slightly but continued his handseals as he blew out a string of liquid flame. Aiming in front of his opponent the liquid flame splashed on the ground and ignited like napalm spreading flame on the ground around and under his opponents legs.

Limit: Must have fire realease.

[Itaru]

A figure would appear from the shadows, seemingly out of nowhere at all. "Tai..." Ziro's voice whispered, a tone of disappointment. Kotaro would soon find himself accompanied by a Chuunin, facing a missing-ninja of the Mist. "Wait Tai," Ziro would yell out to his fellow Shinobi. "I want an explanation, why are you leaving the Mist Village?" Ziro wouldn't attack until he got an answer, however, he would counter and defend against any attacks that Tai might have planned out. At the corner of his eye, Ziro looked to the other Mist Ninja, but he didn't recognize him from anywhere. Ziro couldn't begin to imagine Tai's reasons for abandoning the village, what was to become of him? Ziro watched on as Kotaro began a series of handsigns. If Ziro had arrived a little earlier, he may have been able to avoid this battle. "Tai!" Ziro called from the same position he stood, and suddenly jerked around and faced Kotaro. "Please, don't attack him right now." Ziro said in a low tone of voice to this Kotaro. "I just need to speak with him."

[Runeska]

"Itaru..." Neoku uttered the word as if from a far distance. That was from Tai. And for a spilt second, the crimson colored eyes flashed silver and lost their menace. However, at the mention of mist, that anger returned. The eyes flashed red like blood as his face took a cruel scowl in response. A viscious growl erupted from his throat. The words he said, "Mist could burn in the world of shadow fire. I care not for such a place. No more!" The venom in his voice was harsher then when he'd first spoken, almost as if a demon spoke through his lips.




Still, Neoku quickly body flickered to the left and left an after image in his place. His body landed soundlessly behind a tree, the after image staying as a distraction for a second.


Once behind the tree, Neoku sheathed his wakizashi then began making the handseals for the water clone jutsu. Unknown to his opponents, the clone formed and took up his sword and wakizashi while the others had nothing. Afterwards, it immediately stepped from behind the tree with both swords drawn as if to engage them directly. They had no indication that the clone with the swords was a fake, so he used this to his advantage as the other four stepped out behind the first. The clone took a slightly crouched stance with his wakizashi held backward. The katana was held foreward, ready to attack.


It was at this time that Neoku used another shunshin to move an addition ten meters behind a different tree. There, he removed a kunai from his pouch and cut a strip from the bottom of his shirt. Whilist the water clone would distract, he tide this around his wound to stop the bleeding. It seemed as though word traveled fast through mist. His sides steps were still gone for the day. That murderous demon had done more damaged then he thought eventhough he'd never been touched. Now, even if he wanted to break the Akumu tradition and flee, it would be nearly impossible to make a quick get away.

Kotaro watched as his opponent dodged the fire as it spread on the ground. A after-image was left behind of the opponent. A second later his opponent revealed itself his swords drawn. Taking the initiative Kotaro drew his short bow and knocked a steel arrow aiming at his opponent old two swords. He released the arrow as it cut through his opponent as he turned it water splashing onto the ground.

"A clone... where is he..."

Kotaro held a single handseal as his vision zoomed into the forest. His chakra enhanced vision allowed him to see through nearby objects. As he continued to search he heard another voice of another mist nin. Kotaro didn't turn away from his search as he spotted "Tai" Is what the other nin called him. He spotted him behind a tree tending to the wound from earlier. Kotaro stabbed a kunai into the ground marking which direction he was in.

He turned away deactivating his fiercesights. He slightly rubbed his eyes. "He seems to be hurt... and tired from a previous battle... "

-1 Kunai

Fiercesights
Rank: "D"-Ranked Jutsu
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Channels chakra through the eyes to increase sight range and, at close riange, see through walls.
Special: Requires the "Hare (Usagi)" Handsign.
Drawback: The drawback to this jutsu is that it costs chakra to initiate and sustain, so it can't be used for too long; also, the users eyes glow a little, making this a bad jutsu to use at night.
Description: When Fiercesights is used, the user's eyes become completely white and they glow slightly. The effect is somewhat like the Byakugan (or however it's spelled) except that the user's concentration is used completely, disallowing anything other than turning the user's head and deactivating the jutsu. This jutsu allows the user to see through walls at a distance of 10 yards and see an extra 40 yards (added to his/her eyesight). The effect can be increased by adding a minute (about one turn) of dizziness and nausia to add 10 yards to the penetration distance of seeing thorugh walls and adds 20 yards to the sight distance; these add-ons also double the amount of chakra used. This jutsu can be stacked (ex. Johnny sees through walls at a distance of 30 yards, can see at an added distance (to his normal eyesight) of 80 yards, but uses 4 time the amount of chakra he would normally use).
Limit: Requires the Bowman special.

[Itaru]

Was this truly destined to overcome this Mist Genin, who had his whole life to live? He was still so very young, why had he chosen to become a missing-ninja from the village he once loved? Ziro's royal blue optics lowered to the ground, and closed for a brief moment in time. At this point, Neoku was behind a tree creating hand signs that Ziro was oblivious to. His own chakra was surging through his body with all negative emotions, and anger in its purest form would reveal itself momentarily. He was overcome by an intense rage and hatred for this Neoku. Blackness poured from Ziro's hues, and completely dominated the entirety of his eyes. There was no calm, gentle, royal blue in Ziro's eyes any longer. All that was left was anger.

Ziro began to channel chakra through his vocals and drew a large breath into his thorax. He unleashed this unusual technique, his larynx vibrating violently from the excessicive use of chakra. This would take care of the water clones Neoku had created, and Ziro had unintentionally released this technique. He'd been so consumed by his duties as an ANBU, he released this painful scream of betrayal. His body would shake uncontrolably, frustrated and every ounce of anger had risen to the surface of his being. This was the ability belonging to his Clan, the Kamyuja Clan. Ziro's jaws clenched together tightly and he created fists in both hands with so much pressure the knuckles on each hand turned pale. He hadn't taken Kotaru's safety into consideration, all that mattered to him was to see Neoku dead.

Force Scream
Rank: B-Rank
Skill: Nin/Tai
Effect:When becoming enraged the user loses control of them slef. When this happens the person sends out a loud scream which cause ripples. Actually "ripple" is a bit of an understatement. Tidal wave of of hatred that fuses with the users chakra comes out and send out a wave that is capable of smashing through mental and physical defenses. This cause the enemy's around in roughly 50 meters to be thrown back.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: Fusing chakra and emotion together and with that the user lets out a scream causing a tidal wave of sound and chakra to go out the user and cover 50 meters in a dome. This is viable to the human eye as they are able to see chakra mixed in with the sound wave.
Limit: Must have the first stage of Chaos.

Chaos Thrid Stage (Chaos Unleashed)
Rank: A Rank
Skill:
Effect: The Finally level of the chaos also known as “ Chaos Unleashed.”. Your eyes now turn black like the endless voided of nothingness. The user has now has the strength , endurance, defense, and speed increase by (tai is x2.5, and nin is +15). You eyes now have the ability to pin point the exact location of your opponent in a 200 meter radius, if they were hiding or using a illusion technique. You can no longer be paralyzed by any techniques, but if you are poison it doesn’t work until your chaos shuts down. When your chaos shut off , what every damage you have received you feel about half of it.
Special: None
Drawback: Now the last of the sides of effects, the somatoseneory cortex was once working at 100% then when you got your chaos at the second stage also known as “Rage of chaos”. When you get the third stage “Chaos Unleashed.” the somatoseneory cortex systems changes, when you use chaos. Now working at 50% the other two systems limbic system and frontal cortex are now working beyond their campsite now they have to work at 150% which may be dangerous, but the body now knows this makes a attempt to stop all that pain that is at the “Gate”. Endorphins (or more correctly Endomorphines) are endogenous opioid biochemical compounds. They are peptides produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates, and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a sense of well-being. In other words, "natural pain killers." Travel threw the blood stream and head to where the gate is at, then they intensify the pain as like , affecting the strength of the pain signal that reaches your brain (by reducing the pain they will send). At the same time, a series of reactions takes place at the site of injury, which causes inflammation. This results in swelling, redness, and warmth but inflammation also increases blood flow and promotes healing. This is why when the gates open you do not die from the metal pain but the person has a problem when the chaos is turn off, depending on how much damage they have received will show what will happen. The most and the least that can happen in a fight is your body has received a large amount of damage that would kill someone will make you pass out from the metal pain, not know how long you will pass out for it may be the hole fight, a day or two, or even a hole two weeks. It all depends on that amount of damage you have received during the time you use chaos.

Important Must Read If you don’t get your eyes fixed before you reached the third stage, there is a 97.6% chance you will go BLIND. This will all be determined by a mod or a head mod if you do or don’t, so I advise you to make sure you get them fix.

This is a side effect everyone lives with in the chaos bloodline. When they first unlock the Third level of chaos they go into a uncontrollable blood lust meaning you have no control over yourself and you will not stop until the person they want is dead or someone clams them or beat them down. This can happen more then once to someone. If the person is pushed over their limit and lose control of themself while the third stage of chaos is activated making them go right back into the blood lust mode like before.
Description: When it is activated the user's eyes are now consumed in darkness as their whole eye turns black. While active in this stage the chakra consumption is that high as before as you are able to control the chaos better, but when deactivated your chakra slightly gets recovers faster then normal now. Chaos allows the user to get incredible strong for a short period of time, and making them unstoppable as well, giving them the most perfect offense and defense, now their speed has increased and moves faster then a normal person. The ability of using this allows the user to see in black and white to let them see the chakra flowing around the person, making them more easier to spot out from the other people, even if they have mastered the way to hide their chakra. The reason for the eyes to change colors is so that it allows the user to track down their opponent's.
Limit: Must be part of the Kamyuja bloodlimit, chaos only last for 12 turns.

[Runeska]

He'd just finished tending to his wound when a powerful scream erputped and tore through the air. How could a scream be powerful though? He simply didnt' know. His only indications that this had been an attack would be the sound of his water clones being destroyed. Though, that did gauge him to become aware of his failed distraction, ultimately, it served no purpose toward protecting him. What was he to do? There was nothing at this point except to cover his face and vitals of his upper body with his arms. To that, he was lifted and carried from the floor then thrown into a trunk of a nearby tree. The force gave him a slight headache, as his vision blurred for a brief second. Just what had he gotten himself into? This technique was like nothing he'd ever seen. And in this forest of all places. Without side steps to facilitate his movements, this was a death trap. After he landed back on the floor, he allowed his senses to clear so that he might have a chance at functioning. A kunai quickly came to hand and he turneds sideways to give his opponents less of an area to strike.

[DeeDub]

As he was ready to make his next move the nin behind him screamed loudly. But it was no ordinary scream as it blew Kotaro off of his feet. He landed very far away from the enraged nin. They seemed to have a close bond that sent the mist nin over the edge. Kotaro had to get back into the battle. He held another handseal as bones stretched skin into raven wings. With a mighty push from the ground Kotaro flew above the forest trying to spot Tai. He was propped up against a tree reeling from the shockwave of the other mist nin fury. From the sky he saw Tai his bow still in hand he loaded a glue arrow and aimed at Tai's feet.

On impact the glue arrow would release a substance that would ensnare Tai where he sat.

Tsubasa Sodachimasu no jutsu (Wing Grow Technique)
Rank: C-Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Lets the user grow wings of a bird out of their shoulders.
Special: handsigns, ram
Drawback: The user may feel some pain, due to the initial outburst of the extra shoulder bones that are used for the rest of the wings to grow on.
Description: The user forms the handseal, and then the extra shoulder bones that come from the Ritual of Talon and Feather burst through the back of the user and they start to grow into wings of any given bird, through chakra increasing the length of the bones, (user chooses) that are twice the length of the user’s arms. Chakra will numb the pain, but it will still hurt. The chakra will also accelerate the growth of the skin, but it will come out with feathers. The user may then use the wings to fly and perform other techniques that require this jutsu.
Limit: Ritual of Talon and Feather

-1 glue arrow used

[Itaru]

Finger tips dug deeply into the ground, like a rabid animal that sought the blood of its victims. "Tai..." Ziro's voice faintly slipped through his lips, and with this he launched up to a branch. He knew just where Tai was located as well, it was another gift given to him by using this technique, Chaos Unleashed. Ziro knew very well it would not last forever, but he didn't need this surge of power for an extended period of time. The trees had been destroyed from this wave of extreme pressure, and the area had become a lot more open, aside from the countless number of trees scattered along the ground. He had injured his own Mist Shinobi, but he didn't realize this at the time. No, there was only one thing in this man's mind.

Ziro's head jerked to the right, in the same direction where he sensed Tai. With unrivaled speed, Ziro filled the twenty meters with a mere blur that separated him from his opponenent. If Tai had evaded the attack sent by Kotaro or not, this was the time for him to collect his thoughts on what he got himself into. He could not evade both Kotaro and Ziro's head-on attack without skills beyond those possessed by a simple Genin. Chakra was fused into his right hand as Ziro built up a massive amount of chakra into his fist. With the left hand, he would seize Tai's neck with incredible pressure on his vocal cords.

The Chuunin's finger tips would bury themselves into Tai's flesh just moments before Ziro's fist would come forth directly for his face. Whatever Tai wished to do to avoid this outcome, Ziro would not release his grasp, as the pain he would originally feel would be completely pointless to him at this state. If this was successful, Ziro would have allowed Tai's body to skid across the jagged bark of the ripped foundation, by releasing the grip he had around Tai's neck. The blackness in Ziro's eyes shown he wasn't attacking because he wanted to, but purely because it was what had to be done. This attack wasn't to kill Tai, but it was to injure him severly. However, the blood lust in Ziro wouldn't release him, and slowly, he would approach Tai [if the attack connected.]

[Runeska]

As he stood to his feet, Neoku's senses were opened to all around him. These senses, even in thier heightened state would alert him of Ziro. The power he possessed by far, out classed him. However, as the arrow from Kotaro was unleashed upon him, he could sense some form of attack from the mist nin at his level of combat. To this, he simply body flickered once more and left an after image in his place. The body flicker, perhaps his last, gave him just enough speed to evade the arrow, which left a trace of gluey substance on the floor. His appearance would linger in the area only longer enough for it be disturbed by Itaru's figure, which could only grasp onto the emptiness of a false image.


Neoku was completely unaware of his movement, so as his body began to skid to a halt, he released his kunai at the direction where the arrow came from, not even able to get clear lock on him. The attack would unlikely connect, but just incase, the kunai was charged so that it might stun what ever it hit.


Unfortunatley for Neoku, much of the forest had been cleared by the onslaught of Itaru. His focus was only on the one to lauch the arrow's at him though. To make that a bit more difficult, he quickly ran the handseals for the water clone jutsu again. As his clones began to form, he ran off additional handseals for the body switch tecnique. Only after this had been accomplished, had his mind been able to pick up on Itaru's movement. The twenty meters between them at that time seemed so far, but it was evident that it was nothing to Itaru.


As his five water clones finished forming, he took his place ahead of them. Most users would surround themselves, or put themselve in the back. In order to fool someone though, he had to do the unorthodox thing. Just in case, the water clone in the back moved an additional five meters away, putting the distance ten between Neoku and Itaru and five between the furthest water clone and Neoku. From here, he could attempt to switch places to advoid attacks with a higher success rate. His stratedgy was thought out, but Itaru was too much of a wild card at this time to count on anything. He had to be careful where any movement could be his last. Though, amongst all of this, he would not be underestimated. If blood were to be spilled on this day, it would not be his alone.

Name: Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

Description: The user holds as many kunai/shuriken, or metal projectile for that matter, as they can, up to 5 slots in their hands, and charges them with electricity. Extra lightning damage is added which will slightly paralyse or numb. The projectiles will shock the opponent weakly even if they don't make contact, but at least come close to.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect:
Special: Handseals
Drawback:
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

Kotaro's arrow missed spreading its contents out onto the ground. An after-image was left behind but disturbed by the mist nin's wild attack. Kotaro had to assist and defeat the missing ninja Tai.
He threw a few errant kunai in his direction which with a slight push with his wings was avoided. Tai moved and made several clones which he was at the point of.

He stowed his short bow as he began a set of handseals. Kotaro focused his chakra pushing out toward his opponent. Tai would soon see a single flower petal followed by more becoming a distraction to his vision but he would also notice that things in front of him were moving faster than before. But the flower petals were moving at regular speed. Everything besides the flower petals moved faster than normal due to the genjutsu's effect.

Magen: Hana Arashi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Flower Storm Technique)
Rank: “C” Rank
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Sends an illusionary swirl of flower petals around the opponent, which acts as a hypnotism to slow down the speed at which the brain interprets the signal that the eyes send to the brain.
Special: “Hand Signs”- Dog, Horse, Rabbit, Ram, Tiger
Drawback: The Genjutsu only works as long as the opponent can see the flower petals themselves. If the opponent can view the area through another object (glasses, etc), then the Genjutsu does not work.
Description: The user performs the handseals, releasing a flow of chakra at the opponent. From that point, a giant swirl of flowers, normally cherry blossoms, will move rapidly in a circular formation around the user. This hypnotizes the mind into lowering the speed at which the brain processes the signals received from the eyes. Because of this, everything seems to move incredibly fast to the opponent, except for the cherry blossoms which stay at the same speed.
Limit: Must know Pattern Perception

Small trickles of water dripped from Ziro's body as he turned to face the replicas of Tai. Ziro's eyes would not be fooled however, hand signs would commence as the eyes of Ziro stared at Tai. Optics darkened so hatefully, they appeared to be nothing but bottomless pits of torture and despair. Those eyes revealed nothing but anger and hatred. A cross had been created, using both the index and middle finger on each hand. A total of five shadow clones would appear in the area, and without wasting another second, clone numer one would created three hand signs, and press his palms to the ground. Iron chains would come from the ground and wrap around Tai's body, however, although Ziro was nearing the brink of insanity, he understood this attack hardly connected.

Demon's Necklace
Rank: A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots 5 iron chains out of the earth which can be manipulated by the user of the jutsu. These chains can be used as a whip as well as holding the opponent down. The main purpose of this Jutsu was to restrain people and other creatures. These chains continue to grow untill the user takes his hands of the earth.
Special: Tiger; Dragon; Ox
Drawback: The moment the user removes his hands from the ground the chains dissapear.
Description: The user does the required handseals and places his palms on the ground, causing chains to shoot out from the ground.
Limit: Must know earth release.

So, clone number two would be prepared if the first clone had failed, watching Tai's movements very closely and attempting another attempt. The third clone, was also observing Tai's menuvering, and in the rare event that he escaped the two A-ranked Earth Style techniques, the third could would surely be successful by wrapping its deadly clutching around Tai's throat, hands and feet. While this was occuring, Ziro's fourth clone would be concentrating deeply on the earth below. Every hand sign was done with the left hand alone, since his right was still stiffened from his previous attack. It was as though Ziro had no recollection as to who Kotaro was, and that Ziro wasn't the only one fighting Tai.

Once of even if Tai had been taken into the clutches of Ziro's earth-style technique, then the fourth clone that was created would release its technique. Under Tai's feet would be a rumble, and following after would be a massive sized dragon. Using Kage Bunshin at this time had drained Ziro's chakra dramatically, he needed to make use of these clones. Even he understood that in this state of mind. If this had completed, Ziro would merely watch as Tai's body would be launched into the skies above. The fifth clone by now would have pressed its palms against the ground however, and begin to fill the area with a poisonous substance. Tai's body would fall into this substance, and the poison would enter his body due to the wounds from the Earth Dragon Missile technique if it had connected. If Ziro and Kotaro stayed put atop the highest trees that still stood, they could avoid the poisonous river.

Neoku's slowly tiring body watched as his eyes, focused on Itaru, witnessed the formation of a cross like hand seal. In response, five clones were made. His advantage of numbers was quickly nutrelized for now, he was at a six-seven disadvantage. The odds were not good. Just as he noticed the clones being formed, he attempted to switch places with his water clone in the back. The action never had the chance though. Petals, cherry blossom petals formed before his eyes. The origin of these petals were unknown, but as he noticed them, he found that everything beside the petals were mooving at an alarmig rate, almost as if he were, and he alone , moving in slow motion.


So as he tried to switch places, he found that his body was restrained by something below him. He'd been able to interpret none of the movements before him and figured that he was perhaps reacting full seconds too slow. Still, the cherry blossoms continued before his eyes, the wavering red pattern looking like blood before his eyes. More anger swelled up within him as he could sense an end coming soon.


Through the petals, he believed he could make out the form of Itaru before him. Before becoming coming completely immobilized, he ran off four handseals, refusing to go down without using every possible attempt at surviving. Upon completion of the handseals, Neoku yelled "Mizu Kyanon!"


Immediately, his water clones all condensed back into water and came before him in a large spout of water. The spout, aiming at one of the images of Itaru, launched forward and struck it dead on. If the attack had been successful, he'd have only succedded in destorying the clone preparing the fire dragon projectile. This might have saved him from a heated fire, but alas, he'd been unable to deal with the rest of the issues at hand. With the petals before his eyes still affecting his vision, he'd only just been able to realize that it was chains that were constricting him. Though by this time, he was immobilized and traped.


Still able to move his neck, he managed to inhale and blow a wind arrow again. This was aimed at the clone before him, attempting to grab him. If it worked, the wind arrow would strike it in the right eye socket, hopefully destoying it. Afterwards, he'd be stuck in the iron chains unable to move. However, if he'd failed, he'd be open to the mercy of the two mist nin before him. Unfortunately, he'd been unable to react toward kotaro or his jutsu, so it was unclear to his eyes, what was going on.

Kotaro watched as the mist nin made shadow clones all planning for an battle ending attacks. but were destroyed by a water justu made of Tai's water clones. He was soon restrained by iron chains from the ground. He was immobilized but the final clone was destroyed somehow.

Kotaro knew there was nothing he but an opening being restrained by iron chains. Kotaro charged his opponent from the sky diving and banking to get behind a restrained Tai. Kotaro leveled off. He grabbed his short bow again and aimed straight for his head with a steel arrow "150 Percent..." He released the arrow which would pierce straight through the back of Tai's neck probably going through his windpipe.

...if you could spell instant death any better than that.
